Blisters When You Walk Higher Miles. Walking 10 miles (over 3 hours), even if you are used to walking for six miles, is more of a challenge. You can do it, but most people are likely to develop blisters in new places. Shoes and gear that worked fine for two hours may not be ideal for four hours.
How the Aurora Borealis occur. The Northern Lights are caused by the interaction of the solar wind - a stream of charged particles escaping the Sun - and our planet's magnetic field and atmosphere.
Under normal circumstances, the northern lights occur in a narrow band around 10 to 20 degrees of latitude from the North Pole. In North America, this restricts their range to parts of Alaska, northwest Canada and Greenland. In Europe, Norway and parts of Siberia also experience the northern lights on occasion. However, changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field and solar activity can alter the range and activity of the aurorae.
